点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The project addresses transnational developments in long-term care. Long-term care systems are a very recent trend in advanced democracies. These services are typically provided by female labour migrants. We analyse the consequences of the migration of female caregivers for social policies in the countries of desti-nation in their dependence on different welfare state regimes (in Germany, Italy, and Sweden). We also in-vestigate the effects of “care drain” on the social policy dynamics in the migrants’ countries of origin in their dependence on the different levels of economic prosperity (in Poland, Romania, and Ukraine).
